WAVE DATA CATALOGUE FOR RESOURCE ASSESSMENT IN IEA-OES MEMBER COUNTRIES
A report prepared by INETI to the IEA-OES under ANNEX I - Review, Exchange and Dissemination of Information on Ocean Energy Systems (IEA-OES Document No: T0103 )
This catalogue is being developed within the framework of the Annex I – Review, Exchange and Dissemination of Information on Ocean Energy Systems of the Implementing Agreement on Ocean Energy Systems (IEA-OES) of the International Energy Agency.
This document aims at providing an overview of the available wave data appropriate for assessing and characterizing the wave energy resource in the IEA-OES member-countries, observers and elsewhere. This was collected through a questionnaire and was complemented by a web search. In addition to collating and comparing such information in a single report, it will serve to inform discussion on whether an Annex on resource assessment should be started within this Implementing Agreement.
